NBA Playoffs: When Will Nets vs. 76ers Series Begin?

With the Philadelphia 76ers' season officially over following their 134-105 win against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday afternoon, their playoff series awaits.

Sunday's matchup didn't see either team use their usual stars, as they opted to rest them for injury prevention, which kept it from being a preview of what is to come in the postseason, as Mac McClung, Louis King, and Shake Milton all put up 20 points.

Jaden Springer originally started in the game but was pulled after only two minutes as he continues to suffer from an ankle injury sustained during the G League finals earlier in the month.

For the Nets, Cam Thomas scored 46 points, putting up more than 40 points for the fourth time this season. Raiquan Gray followed suit, dropping 16 points.

Following Sunday's game, both teams will have six days to rest before the playoffs' first match, with Game 1 at the Wells Fargo Center set for April 15 at 1:00 p.m. EST.

If the regular season series proves to be any indication, Philadelphia would be favored, having taken down Brooklyn in all four games, two of which came after the trade deadline, which saw Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson, amongst other players, join the contenders.

This year's first round won't be the first time the two sides have met in the postseason, as the Sixers defeated the Nets, 4-1, back in 2018-19.
